Chapter 17: The Bloody Battle in the Mountains and Forests (I)

Liu Cheng quietly followed the Japanese soldiers up the mountain.

He didn't take out the shell gun, but carried his crossbow.

Now he does not know the exact location of the guerrillas, and it is certainly not okay to shoot rashly.

Half an hour later, a dense burst of gunfire rang out from ahead.

Liu Cheng was overjoyed and quickly ran towards the flank of the Japanese army.

Due to Zhang Zhenguo's deployment in advance, the Japanese army at the forefront suffered a dark loss.

However, the Japanese soldiers had a strong sense of battle and reacted almost immediately, and everyone immediately lay down, each looking for cover, and began to return fire.

According to the plan, the partisans began to alternately cover the retreat after the first blow.

However, the firepower of the Japanese army far exceeded their imagination, and more than a dozen machine guns sprayed tongues of fire and pressed them to the point that they could not raise their heads at all.

Li Min jumped to Zhang Zhenguo's side and said loudly:

"Zhenguo! That's not going to work! The devil's firepower is too strong! ”

Zhang Zhenguo's eyes stared at the opposite side tightly, gritted his teeth and said:

"Lao Li, give me the grenades you got from the Devil Gendarmerie last time!"

Li Min immediately untied the burden on his back and took out three Japanese Type 10 grenades from it.

Ono hid behind a large tree, his eyes calmly looking at the other side, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the middle of the Japanese position, a machine gun shooter suddenly trembled and lay on the machine gun weakly.

The deputy archer next to him was stunned and quickly helped him up, only to find that there was a bright steel crossbow bolt stuck in his neck!

The bolt pierced the Heavy's throat, and the arrow that peeked through the Adam's apple was still covered with flesh and tissue, and blood dripped down the tip of the arrow.

It is clear that this crossbow bolt was fired from the rear.

The Japanese soldier immediately pushed the body aside, picked up his machine gun and was about to turn around and fire.

He had barely turned halfway through his body when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and then a stream of warm, salty liquid rushed up from his throat.

The intense pain and panic in his heart made the nerves in his body instantly tighten, and his fingers unconsciously buckled.

"Da Da Da ......"

The machine gun in his hand went off, but it was his companion who hit him.

A crossbow bolt ran across his neck, piercing an artery.

But unlike the Japanese soldier before him, he didn't die right away.

The bolts only punctured his carotid artery and trachea, but did not hurt his cervical vertebrae, so he was still alive and would live for at least six minutes.

The machine-gun magazine ran out of bullets, and he fell to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

Unbeknownst to him, his consciousness had just fallen into a blur, and just now, two of his companions had died at the hands of his gun, and three others had been injured to varying degrees.

Liu Cheng moved quickly laterally, and at the same time reset the crossbow string again, pressed into the crossbow arrow, and looked for the next target.

At this time, the Japanese army had already discovered that someone was sneaking up behind them, and immediately someone began to shoot in the direction of Liu Cheng.

The remaining grenade Liu Cheng kept pinning to his waist, wanting to throw it out when he found out where Ono Taro was.

But unfortunately, he has never been able to find Taro Ono.

When the Japanese soldiers began to shoot in the direction of Liu Cheng, he threw the grenade in the direction where the Japanese fire was most intense.

After the third crossbow arrow accurately drilled into the chest of a devil, Liu Cheng put away the bow and crossbow and took out the barge gun.

Liu Cheng is no stranger to this kind of pistol, once this kind of gun was in his hand, and it could be said that he could hit every hundred shots at a distance of seventy or eighty meters.

Holding it in his hand again after so many years, Liu Cheng's heart was a little excited.

When the barge gun does not attach the wooden support to the grip, the muzzle jumpiness is very large, and it is difficult to control.

Therefore, the masters who used shell guns back then chose to shoot flat.

That is, when shooting, turn the palm up or down, so that the gun body is sideways, aim from left to right when the palm is up, and aim from right to left when the palm is down.

Liu Cheng is a left-hander, just the other way around.

As soon as his finger hit the trigger, Liu Cheng finally found the feeling of returning to the battlefield, aiming and firing in one go, and the first shot accurately exploded the eyes of a devil.

Originally, after not using it for so many years, it was indeed a little hand-born, but this devil was really a little unlucky, and he had already chased him to a place less than ten meters away from Liu Cheng.

If Liu Cheng hadn't been hiding in the bushes, he would have been in danger just now.

As soon as the gun rang out, it immediately attracted the attention of more devils, Liu Cheng did not dare to fight, and immediately stepped closer to the direction where the guerrillas were.

Before Zhang Zhenguo's grenade was thrown, the devil's grenade arrived first.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two grenades fell in succession into the woods where the guerrillas were hiding, and the explosion kicked up a cloud of dust that prevented the choking man from opening his eyes.

If Zhang Zhenguo hadn't arranged for those team members to cover the retreat alternately in advance, I am afraid that these two grenades would have caused heavy losses to the guerrillas.

After Zhang Zhenguo threw out the three grenades in his hand, he immediately got up and quickly evacuated.

Due to the darkness, the grenade thrown by Zhang Zhenguo did not fall into the devil's position very accurately, and failed to cause effective damage.

At this time, Liu Cheng had also bypassed the devil's position and walked quickly in the rain of bullets.

From the beginning to the present, he has fired a total of eighteen shots, killed seven devils, and wounded eleven of them.

At this time, Ono was already going crazy.

He heard it from the moment Liu Cheng fired the first shot, but he didn't pay attention to it.

In his opinion, it may have been one of the guerrillas, who had been ambushed there in advance in order to attract their own attention and cover the escape of the others.

Ono had already sensed that the guerrillas were retreating, but because of the machine gun that had been pressing them, he didn't want to cause too many casualties, so he didn't order the troops to move forward.

As soon as the machine guns stopped, he immediately ordered his troops to follow immediately, but he did not chase too closely, intending to wait until after dawn for the final encirclement.

After Liu Cheng got rid of the devils behind him, he quickly caught up with Zhang Zhenguo in front.

He was originally followed by a dozen devils, and it was not easy to get out.

Perhaps it was because the route he moved and the shelter he chose were more suitable, and his marksmanship had a certain deterrent effect on the devils behind him, so after he crossed the Japanese position, those devils did not chase anymore.

Liu Cheng's appearance really scared Zhang Zhenguo.

He never thought that Liu Cheng would appear here.

At this time, most of the team members were already two kilometers away, and in addition to Zhang Zhenguo, there were also Wang Gensheng, Li Erniu, and a team member named Ma Liancheng.
